A Manly Under Water Card and An Umbrella Card plus one Paper Piecing Lady Card

I first make my Bokeh Background (I love to made bokeh recently its a cool technique and the result is wonderful I think) I choose two different blue ink from Distress Ink, smear at the white paper and gave much water on it and then after the color dry, started to sponged the circle, I made by my self (with circle puncher) the circle stencil and make two set one set for blue circle and one set for white circle.

The Image I have bought at Etsy store and colored with my Kuretake Gansai Tambi in orange. The meaning of the sentiment is (its in German) Happy Birthday.

I was really stuck at the time I meet Kraft color on these color palette...hmm which Image I should choose...I decided first to punched some circle for my background paper:

Then I choose the umbrella from the cute stamp set from Create a Smile named Bad day.Here is my idea with that photo inspiration...I choose the color combo pink, light blue, light green and kraft paper.

I colored the Image with copic marker and try to choose nearly the same color...because my copic are only small amount, excused me if the green and pink not same as the Photo Inspiration.

The sentiment also from the same set. Hope my card full fill the criteria from the above photo inspiration :)

As I dont want to write a new Post, I put also this card on this post :)I love the theme at Amusing Challenge: Paper Piecing and I think this time I can used again my collection of Batik Paper :)I stamped two times the lady on the white paper and on the batik paper, (I am sorry with the photo, its already dark in Munich :( ) The keft side is the complete paper I have used.

Then I colored the lady (Stamping Bella named: Uptown Girl Sunny is Stylish) with copic marker and put the same sentiment from the same set, here is the card I made:

I Simply put the white panel on the brown card stock and stamped the Sentiment. Finish my card then :)

Hi Friend, I love seeing the Bokeh tech again and it looks awesome with the seahorse. I love that it looks like water. Fantastic. (I posted a bg card and saw your card by mine.)I like the blue circles and the umbrella. Cute card. Hugs.

Two marvelous water-themed cards! Your seahorse is quite eye-catching, especially with the under-water scene you've created. The rain and umbrella card is so sweet, especially with that sentiment! Impressive!Hugs~c

Both cards are terrific. I love the bokeh effect you've used for the underwater theme and that seahorse is just fab. Thanks so much for playing along with The Male Room this week! Good luck with the DT Call.

Look at that fantastic bokeh background!! I don't think you could make a more perfect water scene for this sea horse!! You know I love kraft, don't you? And I love spots! I think the use of punched circles is really clever and the color of the spots look beautiful with kraft.Nice work as always, Monika!

These are both beautiful! I love how you made your own stencil for the bokeh look - I have been wanting to try this technique myself and I think I will make a template using my circle dies as you've done with punches. Lovely underwater card! The second card is cute too! I like the punched circles and the cut umbrella and clouds! Great sentiment! Hope you have a nice weekend, Monika!

All of your cards are fantastic!! I especially love your third card. She is one stylish woman and you rocked the paper piecing technique. Her outfit is amazing and love the blue outline around her, very clever. Always happy when you visit us at ATSM and Time Out!!!

Wow!! So many brilliant creations here my friend!! I really love your bokeh technique on the top card and I love your stylish and fun other cards as well!! Looks like you are enjoying your crafty time!! So happy to see you joining with us over at ATSM my friend! :)

P.S. Sorry for not being around, my life has been really busy lately!! HUGS
